Property description

We’re onefinestay, pioneers of handmade hospitality for stays in the finest homes___________________________________________________

We’ve visited thousands of homes and chosen the finest to join onefinestay. Each home is prepared with care by our local team. Then we welcome you in person – and we’re available 24/7. It’s handmade hospitality.

Those distinctive qualities that distinguish someone, or something, from the crowd are often elusive, and tricky to pin down. But one thing’s for sure, you’ll know it when you see it, and Blenheim Crescent 4 has ‘it’ in bucket loads. This large Victorian home flaunts its big, warm, super-cool personality throughout every one of four stylish floors. From the huge and striking paintings in a glass topped dining room, to a deliciously chic, double-zoned drawing room, you’ll want to hang around and bask in the glow of its magnetic, irresistible character.

Life and Soul

Your hosts are a dynamic duo, he’s an Italian banker and she’s a Portuguese academic and mother. Small wonder that they’ve furnished their sunny home with a whole heap of Mediterranean style and warmth.

Charm offensive

Let us introduce you, then, to a splendid drawing room with tall period windows at either end, and original cornicing, separated into two distinct and inviting areas, both with beautiful wood floors. Two scrumptious fuchsia floral arm chairs, and a huge, evocative photograph of a partially derelict church in San Diego are the highlights in the first room, while the tranquil light-drenched design in the second half is an invitation to find some ‘you’ time stretched out on the lavish sofa.

Descend a rustic staircase to a seriously stylish open plan kitchen dining area. There’s a table and chairs especially for your little charmers, and a candle-adorned antique dining table beneath a glass roof, with a view to the beautifully designed paved garden. Make your way upstairs to discover a plush master bedroom in dove grey with antiques, a marble fireplace, king size sleigh bed and a luxuriant ensuite. Four further scrumptious bedrooms with vintage furniture, plus two stone-tiled contemporary bathrooms mean you’re spoilt for choice.

Cool and collected

Notting Hill is one seriously cool customer, with quite a reputation. It prides itself on its multicultural, fashionable village vibe, and has become one of the most affluent and desirable parts of London. Blenheim Crescent itself boasts some excellent bookshops, and it’s easy to while away a mellow morning's browsing. Though with Portobello Antiques Market, and heaps of boutiques, independent delis and trendy restaurants nearby, you’ll want to uncover every aspect of its multifaceted personality. And when you’re done, a taxi or tube can have you in the heart of town in less than a quarter of an hour.
